> Hello everybody,
>
> Bonjour à tous,
>
> Here is some news about the project
>
> 1) Technical: WDX try on MacOS X and OpenBSD
> Daniel Corbes (Florida) made a similar try for compiling WDX on OpenBSD
> and got the same results as mines on MacOSX.
> David has made the decision to modify WDX, so ftime function is no longer
> used and replaced by gettimeofday function. With another simple change,
> the objective is to have a single code for all Unix platforms. This will
be
> integrated in a minor V0.4.1 release, since there is no functional change
> of  the product.
>
> 2) The Savoie-Aravis Linux User Group (http://salug.tuxfamily.org)
> organized a Linux party on Saturday 13th.
> Laurent and I were there and we had a
> working session on DDX functionality. Laurent set up a system with Bochs
> installed on it. He booted a Debian system in one window and established a
> network on it. He made a try in communicating with the host. WDX was
> presented and some valuable contacts have been made. This linux party was
> a very pleasant meeting.
>
> 3) Web site updates:
> Pete sent me a couple of corrections for the service description page, and
> I reported them to the web site. I also tranfered some news to Shaman-X
> press room.
> You can also get from there a fresh new commercial flyer (in French)
> regarding our service offer.

> The mailing list address@hidden has been down for more than
> ten days. The reason is not known.

> Management). This document is in French. Ask me if you are interested in
> reading it.
